MP2: A Tool that Never Stands Still

Industrial Optimizers’ fully in-house Development Team work constantly to ensure that our MP2 tool is improved and enhanced. This includes developing new features, improving and widening existing functionality, as well as enhancing system performance.

In 2020 alone, this resulted in 22 new versions of MP2 being launched: some of these were released to all MP2 users, while others included client-specific customizations. All MP2 customers get at least two updates per year.

Before any new version of MP2 is released to our customers, our in-house team conduct rigorous quality assurance testing. In 2020, approaching 4000 hours were spent on testing MP2.

What are our Development Team working on right now?

Here is some of the functionality our team are working on right now, with releases including these features scheduled during the next few weeks:

  • MP2 for Airports

  • MP2 Marine

The dedicated MP2 version for the shipping industry is being refined with new functionality, including improved route plotting and mapping.

  • MP2 AeroCrew
